Max Drawdown
  • 2-Step Classic: Evaluation uses a 10% static maximum drawdown from the starting balance, measured on equity and reset when Phase 2 begins. Once funded, a 10% drop from the original balance while in B-Book causes a permanent breach.
  • 2-Step Pro: 8% static maximum drawdown.
  • 1-Step Classic: Static evaluation drawdown based on starting balance and measured on equity, including open positions.

Static against the initial balance; includes floating losses and costs. Pay After Pass funded accounts have a 6% limit.

Profit Split

2-Step Classic starts at a 70% trader profit split. 2-Step Pro starts at 80%. The split applies to eligible A-Book profits generated above the starting balance and after clearing any prior B-Book offset; on 2-Step Pro it is calculated when the payout is requested. Fundex's legal terms state that payments are discretionary bonuses rather than a fixed contractual split.
1-Step Classic: the trader profit split is shown in each challenge and is calculated when the payout is requested.
